After a tune-up win against the Elon Phoenix Saturday, the Mountaineers have a quick turnaround to play Marshall, a team that gave App State one of its three losses in 2020. The Thundering Herd are coming off of a tough loss against East Carolina, where they held an 18-point lead in the second half and watched it crumble in the waning moments.
For the Mountaineers, this is the first of the three potential revenge games after losing to Marshall on the road during the 2020 season. App State only scored seven points in that matchup, and there is a long list of players on this year’s team that still have that game in their memory.
